dari ChangkatNingkeBTP Nukilan ini diambil dari salah satu bab dalam buku ketiga saya "Nukilan πολιτικός" yang sedang dalam proses suntingan. Ia sebenarnya diadaptasi dari artikel yang disiarkan dalam SK Online pada 15 Januari 2011 menggunakan judul asal “ Perlunya ADIList dalam KEADILAN”. Walaupun ditulis pada tahun 2011, rasanya masih relevan ketika kita sedang memasuki gerbang tahun masihi 2013. Parti KEADILAN semakin berkembang. Lahirnya kerana reformasi dan demi untuk menegakkan keadilan. Tidak kiralah keadilan untuk siapa dan untuk apa. Ada yang kerana keadilan untuk Anwar. Ketika itu era reformasi pasca pemecatan dan penahanan mantan Timbalan Perdana Menteri. Teringat lagi waktu itu tag yang dipakai oleh anak-anak Anwar Ibrahim, “Justice For Papa”. Anak-anak muda malah yang merasa muda sengaja dan sedikit nakal menggunakan tag “Justice for Papa in Law”. Mungkin dek kerana suka-suka atau kerana meminati serta kagum dengan Nurul Izzah terutamanya waktu itu. Ada ya...

dari ChangkatNingkeBTP Selena Tay, Free Malaysia Today, September 19, 2012 http://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/opinion/2012/09/19/theres-something-about-selangor/ The decision by the Pakatan Rakyat-helmed Selangor state government to dissolve the State Legislative Assembly next year seems to have greatly annoyed the Barisan Nasional leaders who have openly accused the Selangor government of being afraid of losing. And Pakatan will lose Selangor because the dirty voter rolls will enable BN to regain Selangor easily. As BN is so cocksure of getting back Selangor, it will only be a matter of time so it has to be patient for just a few more months. Still, this means that BN’s plan to hold the polls in November, assuming that it is in November, has encountered a minor glitch for it must be thinking of recapturing Selangor in the 13th general election.

dari ChangkatNingkeBTP Artikel menarik oleh Joceline Tan dalam The Star bertarikh 16 September 2012. Persaingan untuk mendapatkan Selangor semaki  menarik. Saya sedang menyiapkan satu kajian berkenaan peluang PR dan BN dalam PRU 13 di Selangor berdasarkan kajian awal berdasarkan taburan etnik, isu-isu setempat  dan faktor rubanisasi (meminjam istilah sahabat saya YB Yusmadi Yusuf). Pakatan Rakyat is taking a big gamble in deciding not to go along with the general election if it takes place by the end of this year. DATUK Seri Anwar Ibrahim made a grand entrance at the PAS Hari Raya open house in downtown Kuala Lumpur last week – he arrived in his campaign bus. It is still quite a novelty seeing him in the glammed-up double-decker and there was excitement as the bus rolled in. The PKR de facto leader has been quite a newsmaker over the last few weeks. First, there was the nasty business of the bus getting splashed with red paint when it stopped over in Kota Baru. A couple...

dari ChangkatNingkeBTP Insight By Joceline Tan, Aug 5, 2012 A dark horse in the form of Datuk Dr Hayati Othman has emerged as PAS’ contender for the Mentri Besar post in Kedah while Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir is the runaway choice if the Barisan Nasional makes it. DATUK Seri Azizan Abdul Razak had not met Tan Keng Liang although the latter has been a persistent irritant from the day he became Mentri Besar of Kedah. Tan is the spunky-looking state Gerakan Youth chief and a leading critic of the PAS-led government in Kedah. Rarely a week passes without something stinging from Tan via Twitter or to the media. At the State Legislative Assembly building last month, the Gerakan politician flashed his toothy smile as he approached the Mentri Besar to introduce himself and say hello. It was the first time they were meeting and those around the table braced themselves for a potential situation. But Azizan is a classy gentleman; he smiled and gestured for Tan to join him at the lunch table. “Ta...

dari ChangkatNingkeBTP by Joceline Tan, July 22 2012 Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim is fighting a lonely war on a host of issues as he prepares to run the final lap for control of Selangor. NOT many people know that Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim likes to sing karaoke. According to a former aide, music and singing are often a feature during private dinner parties at his posh Malay-style house. The Selangor Mentri Besar (MB) likes sentimental evergreens and he does have a certain swagger when singing although he conveniently skips the high notes. But it is doubtful if Khalid has much time for music or singing these days. He is swamped by a myriad of issues as he prepares to make the final lap in the political race for Selangor. The internal politicking in his PKR party is pressing in on him, the Talam controversy refuses to go away and he is in denial that Selangor is facing a shortage of treated water. A perfect storm is forming over Selangor. Growing pressure: Khalid’s eyesight is near perfect af...

dari ChangkatNingkeBTP By Joceline Tan, 29th July 2012 Sabah Chief  Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman  is pretty much in control as he prepares to take on an ambitious and crowded field of opposition parties in the general election. SABAH Umno politician  Datuk Lajim Ukin  celebrated his 57th birthday last month by resigning as the Umno branch chairman of Karambai Kebatu. There were about 500 guests at the party and there was much clapping and cheering but no one was really surprised. Lajim had been playing the “going to resign game” for months and as Philip Golingai,  The Star's  journalist who is from Sabah, put it: “After so many false starts, the issue has become a bit of a joke.”
